Buechele came in as the Bills' third-string quarterback and led a scoring drive, hitting WR Ja'Mori Maclin for a 71-yard touchdown after two Browns defenders collided downfield. He also ran in a 5-yard touchdown to extend Buffalo's lead to 31-7 with under seven minutes remaining.

The third-string quarterback showed once again that he has neither the arm strength nor the consistent accuracy to be an NFL quarterback. While Buechele still might make the practice squad and can sneak in shorter routes (as shown on a touchdown pass to Ja'Mori Maclin) and has enough mobility to give other third-stringers problems, Buffalo would be wise to look for a younger player to develop for their practice squad with long-term viability as an NFL passer sooner rather than later.

The third-string quarterback showed once again that he has neither the arm strength nor the consistent accuracy to be an NFL quarterback. While Buechele can sneak in shorter routes and has enough mobility to give other third-stringers problems, the Bills should be looking to replace him with a younger player to develop for the practice squad sooner rather than later. He may still make the practice squad this season.
